BACB Behavior Change Procedures 2

Question 1

Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) reduces problem behavior primarily by which mechanism?

Accepted Answer

Abolishing the motivating operation for the reinforcer maintaining problem behavior

Answer

Punishing problem behavior directly

Answer

Teaching a replacement behavior

Answer

Increasing response effort for problem behavior

Question 2

Which punishment procedure involves removing access to positive reinforcers contingent on a problem behavior?

Accepted Answer

Response cost

Answer

Overcorrection

Answer

Sensory extinction

Answer

Physical restraint

Question 3

What is the difference between 'restitutional overcorrection' and 'positive practice overcorrection'?

Accepted Answer

Restitutional requires restoring the environment beyond its original state; positive practice requires repeated practice of correct behavior

Answer

Restitutional uses reinforcement; positive practice uses punishment

Answer

Restitutional is for escape-maintained behavior; positive practice is for attention-maintained behavior

Answer

They are identical procedures with different names

Question 4

Which procedure involves briefly removing the learner from access to all sources of reinforcement contingent on problem behavior?

Accepted Answer

Exclusionary time-out

Answer

Response cost

Answer

Nonexclusionary time-out

Answer

Sensory extinction

Question 5

Antecedent-based interventions aim to reduce problem behavior by modifying which part of the three-term contingency?

Accepted Answer

Antecedent conditions and motivating operations

Answer

The consequence

Answer

The response topography

Answer

The reinforcement schedule

Question 6

Which procedure delivers reinforcement for progressively lower rates of a behavior, aiming to reduce but not eliminate it?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Answer
